LACE: Language & Cultural Exchange
LACE EventsLACE builds friendship and fosters intercultural exchange through regular events. In the past we have had riverside barbeques, discussions about Australian movies, played word games and heard about teaching and learning in different countries. Descriptions and photos of most of our events are at the bottom of the page. The calendar of events for 2009 is below.
